Submitted by varun2410 on Sun, 02/15/2015 - 07:49

Hi all,
I have cleared my PMP with 5P on 11th Feb 2015.
I have study for 3 months for 2-3 hours on week day and 3-4 hours during weekend. I have two young Kids to help me-;).
Book used- PMBOK - 1 through read and 1 review (Must read and only read)
Rita - 1 through read and 1 review.(Good for first understanding)
Practice more than 3000 Free questions all most all available on Oliver Lehmann site. Average score 70-85. lowest 67 in 75 tough question of Oliver Lehmann.
Real exam was very easy than what I expected. I have left with 1.5 hour. (during my practice exam also I left with similar time or even more for easy exam)
Exam has many situational question ,Tuckman theory, type of contract, conflict resolution, type of communication and few on line of communication.
My advice do as many practice question as possible from reliable source.
Regard,
Varun Patel

Not all questions are long, it is mix bag. you can finish well within time. for me math questions are very easy. only 5-6 calculation questions.
